So decided to Update my sound cards drivers tonight. Went on the official site and found the page for my card. Downloaded the drivers. Installed them, with many restarts. Man so many great new features! I love the one that makes it so MY SPEAKERS DONT FUCKING WORK. Really it is not like they didn't work before so I just decided to update them out of responsibility and what do I get no audio. If I knew that would happen I would have been content with using the Default 6 year old drivers. Currently have my speakers plunged directly to the Mobo. honestly can't tell much of a difference. I am going to sleep this stress off, maybe I'll find some way to get the old ones back ( online or dig around to find the install cd)

The latest bombcast got me thinking of why I enjoy playing these games.  And the Fact of the matter is that to me these are just plain fun. There is just something about mindlessly sitting back and cutting dudes. Honestly I usually don't pay attention to the story.  Just skip all that so I can just jump right in. And Jeff is right, these games are not very good. They have very low production values so every thing looks rather terrible. But in the end that doesn't matter because the joy is in the game play. Though I think the games have become worse. I say that because some things have been replaced over the years that maybe should not have. For example they got rid of Bodyguards and have adapted the Renbu system. The Renbu system is a real bother to me since it takes a lot out of the game. Now all you do it hold down the attack button and you attack forever. I liked it better when you actually had a move set with different combinations of attack and charged attacks.  I just picked up DW6:empires  and there is just something strange about the game play that at first glance is not as fun as DW5. Maybe I just have not played much of it yet. I guess that has to be it since I have only been able to get one mission.

Well I hope my thought shed some light on why these games are still being bought and made and why a player like me enjoy playing them.

Because mine died this morning :/

Turned off and started blinking red, thought It over heated but after 5 hours later, still nothing.
sigh..
Anyways I am not raging about spending 150$ to get it fixed but that I don't have anything thing backed up and I have a gamefly disk in there. And I know my luck and I guarantee I will not get my unit back and get a referb with a new drive with nothing of mine on it and I'll never see that game again and they won't bother erasing my HDD and will send that off to some guy who will start buying shit with my acount. Maybe I get a third party to try and fix it, Though that is not guaranteed like sending it in, and then If i try and send it in later they might reject it because it has been tampered with.

but fuck who am I kidding I WANT MY FUCKING SAVES!

Just got a email from LIVE saying I was suspended till further notice for inappropriate content on my profile.
But I have not changed the stuff on my profile for ages and I never wrote anything bad on there.
So Guess I will JUST be playing on my ps3 for the time being (no more COD 4 .... fuck).
Also love that customer support won't even talk to me about it. In bold letters it says they will not modify your suspension of explain any further why you were.
Shit I would atleast want to know what was offensive. instead I am left in the dark dreading the day I get my profile back to see what was deleted.

Thought this game would be a nice fun game. Man I was wrong.
It is incredibly frustrating. Almost like mega man but you have 1000lives.
So yea It has this dumb ass "suck the player to fall off the edge no matter if you are facing the enemy or not" and "no direction just jump and pray and if you screw up try try again" game play.
Boss battles are really stupid since in order to inflict damage you first have to body slam there head and doing that can be a real hassle.

I played the demo(which was the first level) and really liked that but by the time I got to the 3rd level I was cursing to high heaven. Good thing I rented this. Not sure If I'm going to play any more.
